Sierra Institute

of Herbal Studies
 
 

An herb school that emphasizes the use of
medicinal herbs and native plants through
hands-on experience in the garden
and in the field.

The herbal intensive is for those individuals who have always wanted to learn more about herbs but weren't sure how to go about it. Students participate in many hands-on herb related activities at Rivendale Ranch. The ranch has a large herb garden and an abundance of native herbs growing nearby. As a member of United Plant Savers, the ranch has an established botanical sanctuary for the fostering of medicinal plant propagation and a safe haven for At-Risk medicinal herbs. A botanical sanctuary is a joyous place to gather and share good company, good conversation, and good plants and a space to spread the word about medicinal plant uses.
